Help translate the app.

[Yaguar666]

Hi Ryan!
I need your help.
I try to translate into Russian FFXIVAPP.
Already translated and added similar components in the file:

Created and filled file Russian.cs

Translated and recompile:
FFXIVAPP.Localization.dll
FFXIVAPP.Common.dll
FFXIVAPP.IPluginInterface.dll

I recompile FFXIVAPP, but can be seen only after the launch icon and explanation when it leads to the mouse cursor. Pressing the language is changed to English.
All other languages ​​work.

More plug-ins are no longer installed.

Just a test plug in unmodified FFXIVAPP, after installation and restart APP, remains in the "unidentified".

Is there any function to APP writing error, etc. a file? And it would be desirable to understand)

[Yaguar666]

And what are it doing:

catch (Exception ex) ?

When it comes to localization the application used to have two separate settings.

• UI Language
• Game Language

It was at the time however; confusing for users because they would set the UI language and not set the Game Language. They would assume the program did not work.

I consolidated those two and the way it works now is when you click the Icon for the language at the top, it will set the game language to the same thing.

In this case the default work flow is that if you added a Russian flag to the top, and then click it. It would try and set the game language to Russian (which of course is not available at this time).

Each plugin also exposes a list of supported languages as well. As an example found here:

https://github.com/cjmanca/FFXIVDBM.Plugin/blob/master/FFXIVDBM.Plugin/Constants.cs#L46

It's used by code like this:

https://github.com/Icehunter/ffxivapp-plugin-parse/blob/master/FFXIVAPP.Plugin.Parse/Helpers/LocaleHelper.cs#L48

If the language isn't supported it will default to English.

With the new plugin changes I did I also don't use that localization library anymore and they are all now contained in named locale files inside the plugin.

The catch right now is just for catching errors but it can be logged use the NLog viewer.

Setup can be found here:

[Yaguar666]

Yeah.
Hmm, and yet possible to make only the language of UI has changed, and the language of the game remained, say, English?
Where can I edit the code?

Change, for example, Settings.Default.GameLanguage = "en" and UILanguage = "ru"?

[Icehunter]

It's not quite as simple as that; because for the UI to update it's tied to GameLanguage.

Let me see if there's something more I can do in the main app to allow this and make it work appropriately. Such as choosing a non-game language can request a UI update but default to a game language of English.

[Yaguar666]

Hello again.
It turned out to change something?

[Yaguar666]

I found an annoying bug in the code in App.cs that prevented the localization of applications.
I forgot to add "ru":

                case "GameLanguage":
                    Constants.GameLanguage = Settings.Default.GameLanguage;
                    var lang = Settings.Default.GameLanguage.ToLower();
                    var cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("en");
                    switch (lang)
                    {
                        case "french":
                            cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("fr");
                            break;
                        case "japanese":
                            cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("ja");
                            break;
                        case "german":
                            cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("de");
                            break;
                        case "chinese":
                            cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("zh");
                            break;
                        case "russian":
                            cultureInfo = new CultureInfo("ru");
                            break;
                    }

Now the application is localized (the part that works with a dictionary).
But the plugins is "Out of date" and not working.
Although I rebuilt with new plugin dll.
Maybe it depends on the version?

[Yaguar666]

Ah, version check was added at 3.0.5592.26103 build, ok, will try to make it work)

[Yaguar666]

Is it possible to make the plugin version that is higher than the version on the server, and also passed the validation work?

[Icehunter]

As long as the versions of the following libraries in the plugin are not lower than what is included in the app any plugin should load.

https://github.com/Icehunter/ffxivapp/blob/master/FFXIVAPP.Client/PluginHost.cs#L91

Regarding the UI and language updates. I'll be committing code tonight that changes the language buttons at the top to a drop down. Adding a new language is pretty simple and if you want a language different than the game language that will be allowed.

I'll have more details later after I commit.

[Yaguar666]

Version of libraries are simple, but:


Try to up version of Widgets.

[Icehunter]

If you recompiled any of those dependencies yourself they won't match the ones I released and prevent loading. if you go back to using the versions I have in the resource repo and from the released version of ffxivapp it should be fine.

[Yaguar666]

I added a crutch to check the translation plugins)
2 hours - normal flight:

    private bool HostAssemblyValidation(string name, Version version)
    {
        var reference = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
                                .GetReferencedAssemblies()
                                .FirstOrDefault(a => a.Name == name);
        if (reference == null)
        {
            return true;
        }
        return true;

// return version.CompareTo(reference.Version) == 0;
}

[Icehunter]

You can change that locally if you like; but in the event something is upgrade like MahApps.Metro and the other plugins haven't updated it's going to cause the app to crash, behave badly or just show a white screen.

[Yaguar666]

Yeap, it's only for test)

[Yaguar666]

And what is responsible for setting the name of the plug-in, the name of the tab?
